Lefse (, cognate to loaf), dialectally also lefsa (among others), is a traditional soft Norwegian flatbread, also found regionally in Sweden (, löfsa). It is made with riced potatoes, can include all purpose (wheat) flour, and includes butter, and milk, cream, or lard. It is cooked on a large, flat griddle. Special tools are used to prepare lefse, including a potato ricer, long wooden turning sticks and special rolling pins with deep grooves.
